Idaho does not have a separate state loan program, nor does it add any benefits to federal loan programs. It does have the Education Incentive Loan Forgiveness Program for teaching or nursing careers. To be eligible, a student must:

be a resident of Idaho

be a full-time student

maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or better in the first two semesters

teach or nurse in Idaho for at least two years after graduation

The federal guarantor for the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) in Idaho was the Student Loan Fund of Idaho, Inc., but now all federal student loans come from the Direct federal student loan program.

The state of Idaho concentrates upon scholarships, need-based grants and reciprocity programs, rather than student loans.

A Pell grant is a college funding lifesaver.
